MUFG Investor Services, the global asset servicing arm of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, has appointed Andrew Stewart as Executive Director of Private Equity and Real Asset Sales in EMEA.
Stewart’s appointment is effective as of 4 March 2019 and he will report to Oliver Scully, Head of EMEA Sales.
Stewart will be responsible for driving the sales and growth of MUFG Investor Services’ asset servicing solutions to investors and managers across the private equity and real asset sectors in EMEA. He will also be responsible for promoting the uptake and usage of MUFG Investor Services’ suite of products including fund administration, outsourcing, custody, depositary, trustee, fund of fund financing, alongside other banking and treasury solutions.
Oliver Scully, Head of EMEA Sales at MUFG Investor Services, says: “We are excited that Andrew has joined the firm given his experience in the private equity and real asset sectors. He understands the pressure points that investors and managers face and can advise them on the best solutions and products to meet their operational needs, help them remain competitive and deliver significant results to their clients.”

Stewart says: “I have long admired MUFG Investor Services’ strong commitment to supporting organisations within the alternative investment sectors. I am looking forward to working with the team to generate sustainable and profitable growth throughout the business, while continuing to offer clients a best-in-class suite of products and services.”
Andrew’s appointment follows other recent senior private equity and real asset hires at MUFG Investor Services, including the appointment of Bruno Bagnols as Managing Director and Head of Private Equity and Real Assets of Mitsubishi UFJ Investor Services & Banking Luxembourg SA (MIBL) earlier this month.
